Maybe there is something we overlooked. lets look at it again. >> fred, im looking at some of these complaints, these past concerns of pilots and i want to walk through a couple with you. one says the flight manual sis inadequate. theres another one im reading where it says, within two to three seconds during takeoff, the autopilot was engaged and, quote, within two to three seconds, the aircraft pitched nosedown in a manner steep enough to trigger the planes warning system, which sounded, "dont...
